Plastic Injection Molding Process

Plastic injection molding process is a cost-effective way to create plastic parts in low to high volumes. 

• - The process involves injecting molten plastic material into a mold and ejecting the solidified parts. 
• - The injection molding process repeats a hundred or thousand times. 
• - The mold cost is amortized and drives down the injection molding cost per part to a few dollars or even less as the process uses the same mold to create each piece. 
• - The plastic molded parts have consistent quality. 
• - The molding process has more materials, colors, cosmetics, polishes, and surface finishing options than 3D printing or CNC machining.

Workflow of Plastic Injection Molding Process
Step1:	The molding plastic resin is usually in raw pellets, and after drying to the right moisture content. Pigments or master batch colorants are needed if necessary to get the correct color for design.
Step2:	Pouring the pellets into the hopper of molding machine. The pellets will be heated and transported to the mold by a reciprocating screw inside the barrel of the machine.
Step3:	The barrel heats and mix the pellets until fully molten, forming the liquid resin.
Step4:	The resin is injected into the mold cavity(the heated mold closes automatically) through a injection molding gate under great pressure.
Step5:	It takes a short whole to cool down the mold, and solidify the part inside.
Step6:	The part is ejected after the mold opens, and to begin a new cycle

How Plastic Mold Injection?

Plastic mold injection needs injection molding machines, raw plastic material, and mold. The primary plastic material is melted in the injection unit and injected into the mold, and the injection molds are machined from steel or aluminum, some people use soft plastic molds to make rapid prototypes and low-volume parts. The parts cool and solidify into the end parts in the mold. Our engineers at TEAM Rapid will review your plastic injection molding project and offer a cost of injection molding. We will double-check with you to ensure every detail, specification, lead time, and price meets your requirements. We will CNC machine a high-quality injection mold. When the mold is built, we will send you samples for approval. When the mold is approved, we will begin production. TEAM Rapid molds a wide range of parts, from the smallest medical insert to large automotive, aerospace, and defense parts.

Customized Injection Molding Cost - Overview

Customized injection molding doesn’t have any fixed cost. The cost for the custom injection molding production will depend on how you would like to use our services. Also, the various factors or requirements of your project will contribute to the overall price you need to pay. The cost of customized injection molding can be divided into two parts. First, the cost of the entire production operation. Second, the cost for the mold creation or tooling process.

 

Cost for the Entire Injection Molding Operation

The entire operation injection molding cost will be determined by the services you are using from the start of production until the production is finished. The cost will be included in the final products you receive once the production is finished. You will receive the final products according to your specified project requirements after paying the full cost of the entire injection molding operation. Some after-sales services will also require you to pay for the additional cost, such as when you need to revise the final products or make any alterations to your prototypes.

 

Injection Mold Cost/Rapid Tooling Cost

Creating the mold will also incur you some initial costs for the injection molding production. Often, the cost for the mold or the tooling process will be separated from the overall cost of the injection molding process. The injection mold cost will be payable during the initial stage of your injection molding process, after the blueprint design for the mold has been submitted to us.

 

The mold creation process might take some time to complete. It will depend on the complexity and features of the mold. Also, the production for the plastic parts can be started only after the mold is ready. You can use both rapid manufacturing or conventional manufacturing processes for the mold creation, each of which will also differ in price.

 

Important Aspects that Will Affect the Customized Injection Molding Cost

● The readiness of your design blueprint, as well as the complexity or intricacy of your product design.

● Raw materials you will use for the plastic products and mold, including the material type and grade or quality.

● The type of manufacturing technology to use, such as rapid manufacturing or conventional manufacturing.

● The tooling process and various aspects of the mold, including design, features, material, and so on.

● Your project requirements, which include the deadline you set for it.

Various additional processes involving the creation of your plastic products, such as branding, pad printing, and so on.

DIY Injection Molding or Outsourcing Services？

If you need some small volume parts(such as some simple plastic moulding trim) without excellent cosmetic and stable dimensions, DIY injection molding to mold these plastic moulding trim can be a solution. But if you need volume complex parts in good finish, pretty color, and excellent dimensions, outsourcing injection molding services should be the best option. You can but good quality parts with small costs in China, consider TEAM Rapid for your next projects! We also offer liquid silicone for molds!
